How long do people use self storage units for?

It totally depends on circumstances. Some people use self storage to keep their belongings during home moves or while having work done on their homes, so it might be just a few weeks. Some customers use self store for seasonal items, such as garden furniture or festive decorations, for a few months at a time. And some customers store artwork or hobby items in their unit on a permanent basis, rather than keeping them in their home.

We only need one week’s notice to cancel your self storage arrangement, so we don’t need to know beforehand how long you want to store your items.
